Choices always have consequences and it’s no different in a hospital setting. This is particularly true when patient data access is under scrutiny which can impact financial, departmental and strategic initiatives.No matter what EHR your hospital is using, the chances are high that some of your patient data is still being stored in multiple applications. These “application data silos” make it much more difficult to access the complete patient history and hinders the ability to provide the most informative care. In addition, these separate applications are typically older solutions that are difficult to maintain, have become vulnerable to security threats, and cost organizations thousands of dollars every year. This webinar provides a CIO’s perspective on the issue’s hospitals face with “application data silos”. Learn about options and methods available within the market to eliminate data silos and the key business and technical considerations involved in making a final decision. Understand the potential challenges you may face within your organization, the resource investment needed, and benefits you can receive when you decide to eliminate application data silos.Presenters:Martha SullivanCIOHarrison Memorial HospitalMartha Sullivan is currently the CIO at Harrison Memorial Hospital.
